  • hi the last comment of me withe the question how to change language of Qtek 9090 is only work for to reset the language but if you dont have the rom of english language you must install the ROM. Becarefull it have so meny riscks with installing any kind of ROM. I think that you will ask me where to find and download this ENGLISH ROM. You can download from forum.xda-developers.com/. think one of the three may work

  • you can change you ppc language by following this steps first tap the start and next settings choose system tab select regional setting the choose the language eg.English(united kingdom) and tap ok at the right top. i think that will help if it does not work try this putout your battery for 5-6 hrs and then put it this will restore to the factory. i think one of them will give you happiness.

  • can anyone out there help me with this phone application cuz when ever i down load something from the net ican't seem to save it to the phone about application

  • Its a pocket PC indeed, but in my opinion, its too big and massive to hold in a pocket. If I wore sweatpants, it would really be uncomfortable in it or if I wore it with jeans, it would be hard to sit, but thats basically everything thats wrong with it. Touchscreen is just great, screen is huge which is a big plus, qwerty keyboard could have been done better, keys are too small.

  • In the specification area on gsmarena, there is usually price range for telephones presented. But not for Qtek 9090. Can anyone tell me the price of this telephone, if it is available anymore, though i don't see the reason why it shouldn't be.

  • hello sandra, i'd read your question about changing the language of your qtek9090 from german to english, did you able to changed? how? this is my problem also. please if you could help me.thanks a lot.

  • i will like to know if any one who have used this phone before help me with it manual and also show me how to get it blue tooth to work and also how get it internet connected this mine email address [email protected] help,please .

  • Incredible machine! Never dissapointed me for what is four years now! Only had to buy a new battery twice and once - a new stylus, but that is perfectly normal for a hardcore user like me. Updated the firmwate to WM6.5/Manilla and now it is faster and most responsive than ever. And what is even more - last week I managed to drop it into the kitchen sink full of soapy water. After pulling is out water was leakink out of it from every possible opening. I nearly called it a total loss, but after two days of drying with some silicagel bags around it, it came back to life as if nothing happened! (...and was definately cleaner than before the incident :) )

  • i do have an xda lls ph20b unit but i don't know how to set up a wi-fi connection could you help me send a manual at my mail add [email protected], thank you

  • I have used this device for a couple of years and it has never let me down! It has been invaluble for starting up my own business as all files can be kept on the memory card, accessed by the device and I can sync over my mobile network and wifi! It renders Navigation programs with ease and it's display is brilliant. Yes it is quite a large device, but in todays market where everything seems to "HAVE" to get smaller I still need a device that i can use with my fingers and not a silly little stick! I rate this device as a good all rounder and won't let go of mine until it has completely died! :)

  • Download and install XCPUScalar in order to overclock your blue angel. Once installed, check the option to show frequencies above 500 MHz. The Blue Angel ROCKS! Maybe it's an old device(about 4 year old), but it's still in the competition. It's fast and it has the package. Oh, and it's upgradeable to wm5 and wm6 also!!! Check out the xda-developers site.

  • Got so many other questions. just cant remember them now. Is it because it runs o windows mobile 2003 se that causes it to not read exe, asp and other formats aside from cab? Can i upgrade to Windows 2005 and later versions? if i can where do i go or how do i do it?

  • Are there any free downloadable anti viruses for the 9090? Wanna know the sites if any. Thanks.

  • About the wifi usage. whenever i am at a hot spot no matter how close i am to the device my strength of the signal is the the same as me being at a distance so i wanna know is it possible to increase the strength of the receiver.

  • wanna know how to play videos in the windows media player? Also does the format of the video affect its playability?

  • hey I have the Qtek 2020i and my screen broke, what I did was. if you take out the battery and and void the warranty (if you have one, if you don't don�t worry about it) you'll need those tiny screwdrivers to take apart your qtek. You won't brake anything if youre careful take your sim out and memory card first. The Qtek is great cuz it's a plug in screen not a solder in screen. so take all screws out, unsnap the back cover, you'll see the mother board, unscrew those screws, till you get to the screen. theres a bracket maybe that holds the screen in place unscrew that, look at the motherboard where the screen is plugged in and unplug it. I bought my replacement at ebay.com it was $70. but its an easy thing to fix because if you were to send it in to a geek they'd do the same thing but for more bucks.

  • someone please say how to change the language to the english one????

  • awwww this is just a great set. never gonna give mine up.

  • Hi, QTek9090 is really something very cute, especially its big LCD, but unfortunatly LCD for my QTek9090 has broken. Can someone tell me the cheapest way to get it repaired or someway i can exchange my QTek9090 with broken LCD with some other mobile....... i dont want to loose all money which i spent to buy it..

  • You need to install ActiveSync (microsoft) to your computer and you must have a USB cable to connect the Qtek to the PC. Then you can install software over the PC. GREAT GADGET!!!

  • it is an a good phone instead i should say that it is a pocket pc

  • ilovethisphone...sheeettt

  • I have been using the qtek 9090 for a little over a year. I have frequent lockups with it and have to do a soft reboot. This may have more to do with the company software than the device itself, I am not sure. I do have problems with signal strength of the phone alot and the built in ear piece does not function as well as traditional cellphones in my oppinion. Works good if you take the time to plug in and untangle the earpiece. To have as multifunction device it is pretty good. If I was primarily using it as a cellphone, I would make a different choice.

  • I've had a lots of different mobile phones, and change them almost every month. When I bought my qtek 9090 at the first look I thought I made a mistake but, after a first second working with it...I knew that this is what I was looking for. I knew then why I've changed so many phones...Nokia, whether it is with symbian or not...sucks. Sony Ericsson P990i is near (only near)....and rest of the phones are now worth of any words. This phone is exactly what I am looking for....never hangs...runs three times faster than my first PC...double as memory...Internet wherever u go...compatible with PC...GREATEST PHONE EVER!!!!!

  • I have this phone, and I tell you what. This phone is alsome. The only thing that i can be unhappy about is the command "possible data loss" when i don't have inaff battery. The first time i thought it's a joke but second time when the same command was showed again my phone was reseted completely and I didn't know what should I do. It's the only think witch make me crazy about because all other things like Microsoft Otlook Pocket Word or Pocket Excel are alsome!

  • I just have changed my Qtek 9000 and the 9100 in the spanish language. waaw, very cool.

  • Do any body know how i can change the language on my Qtek9090 it is in Italian now i want to change it to English.I tried it. Please i need help.

  • hi to all! the only way to change your language off your qtek 9090 is changing the rom! visit: in forum section.

  • I have my Qtek9090 for a year now. In general I am happy with it but beware of some technical problems. Some units had problems with the microphone. Sometimes the screen just freezes and I have reset it to get it to work again. I do like its performance with Navigational software (tomtom or iGO9) It works very well and it is lots of fun to use it while driving. Although when using the navi software, the phone does not work as well anymore until you exit the Navi software. Also as a phone it is too big and hard to carry around. I do not make so many phone calls so I find the size ok but if you want a compromise then get the new 110 which is smaller. Overall, it is great to have so much functionality in one device!

  • QTek9090 is very cool.can we change its language? If yes, then please help me to change its language from Italian to English.Send me an e-mail at [email protected]

  • Am using device for a year, quite happy. Browse internet with it using GPRS and use as a regular phone / sms device. Decided to connect it by Bluetooth to my notebook and browse the Internet on notebook using Qtek's GPRS connection and failed. Is it possible at all?

  • My cousin gave me this QTEK 9090 pocket pc but it is in Italian. I want to change its language. Please somebody help me how can I change the language into English.

  • You can't switch languages in the software - you have to reflash the device with a different ROM image - the problem is that the upgrades check for a matched language - so you need to use a a modified upgrade utility... Do a websearch for "MaUpgradeUtnoID", and you should find the stuff you need.

  • I have the following question. Does the Qtek 9090 support the MMAPI (Mobile Media API) extension for Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME)?

  • hi does any one no hoe to turn on the infered?

  • Just taken delivery of my new Qtek 9090 (or Vodafone v1620 as my one is). Previously I had the 2020i and already I prefer this one with one exception - which I will mention shortly. Good Points: 1. qwerty keyboard is neat and usable. 2. The extra function buttons on the lower front of the phone are very useful. 3. The camera button is less easy to catch by mistake and take unexpected photos. 4. It does not seem to hang like the 2020i did. (So far!) 5. It looks good. Bad Points: 1. The case it comes with is useless. You have to take the phone out of the case to do anything. You cannot even see the screen. 2. Uses a different shape battery to the 2020i, so I have had to bin my spare battery from the 2020i. 3. Uses a slightly different shape stylus to the 2020i, so have had to bin my spares. Overall, great upgrade.

  • Does anybody know, how I can delete the evelope symbol for recieved sms on the display? I have already read all the new sms, but the symbol is since 2 weeks always on the display of my Qtek9090. Thank you.

  • Qtek can do the impossible. Think of impossibilities and it can be done.

  • I am abot ot purchase QTek 9090. Have a few questions to those who have it: Does the 5 operation button the bottom center included as it is in the standard pocket pc? it said it has built-in WiFi (for lan) is it true? Its speed is 400MHz, in comparison is that reasonable? What is the resolution of the camera (480x640) as they claim. Thank you all.

  • Do any body know how i can change the language on my Qtek9090 it is in Italian now i want to change it to English. The regional setting did not work. i tried it. Please i need help.

  • Can I surf the internet with 9090 like standalone desktop pc? is there any paired device such as bluetooth modem jack or somting like it, to do such task?

  • if you have this device and have any problems, you can find anything you need to know at go to the forums, ask if you need anything - there is a bass application too

  • It looks absolutely the same as Siemens SX 66! Does anybody can see any diff?

  • is it possible to adjust the sound quality? (add some bass) as i heard the sound having too much treble, also why it is not stated as a 1.3 Mp camera ..... although after all it is a great phone!

  • It hangs a lot of times.

  • I will also have it sometime as son as it is released here... ha aha ha

  • a great pocket pc phone, the best pda-phone I ever have. it is a mini laptop.

  • seems great ... does NOT synchronize. Tried on several computers, connects, then disconnects and says it never connected. Says check your DIAL UP connection!! what a joke.

  • That stuff is good! it looks really great!!! I will have it sometime

  • Great phone, but Qtek seems to be inexperienced in entering in to the market with a complete customer support infrastructure (like DELL for example). So, if you need help, there's little available out there.

  • This phone looks great. And I must admit that it have better procesor than my old PC :-(

  • Nice phone. Great screen. Does what it says on the box. Technical support is a joke. No web site, no phone number. Nothing. My phone is in Spanish, as much use as a choclate screwdriver. If anyone has any idea's drop me a line.

  • the best phone ive even seen. it s a computer

  • Qtek 9090 is the best phone...

  • qtek 9090 is a 4 bands not 3. think�s
